So you're on your way to collecting welfare checks? Is that what you're saying?

Well..... Yes, that was exactly the take away message. Very astute on your part.

True as that may be you have the power to make some run for the hills when you reply. You're missed when you're not around.

Our infant mortality rate is high for a developing country because we have a lack of social services, and are one of the few developed countries foolish enough not to advocate for wide-spread birth control and family planning. Lack of access to education and medical resources for family planning equals a greater unintended fertility rate. Unintended fertilty correlates highly with infant death.

The reason infants typically die around the time of death is unsanitary birthing practices or congenital defect. A hospital will prevent your baby from dying of these things, even if they stick you with a big bill later. Historically, the reasons infants and young children die later in life are weaning hazards, lack of medical attention, urban stressors (crowding, pollutants). These factors are predicted by parental investment (which can prevent accident, malnutrition, failure to seek medical help etc.). Give people the resources to choose not to have babies, or to take care of the babies they have, and the babies will stop dying.

Interestingly, the primary reason that we chose not to implement many of the social programs that low infant mortality countries like Sweden enjoy, is because they were pioneered by Germany, right around the time we became suspicious of everything German. Today, Germany's infant mortality rate is half ours.

You post a lot of articles about all the racism that black people face, and about how violent felons get hired over blacks with MBA's etetc.

So who is doing all that oppressing. Hispanics ? LOl I don't think so. You may as well say Whitey is keeping us down.

Is their racism. yes. Is it Majority . No

Does it flow both ways. Oh yes. Yet I hear idiotic liberal babel on here, about how Black people can not be racist.

I've also posted about black people being racist as well. What's your point? I hit all areas. It's a problem no matter whose on the receiving end of it.

That I don't see. You've eviscerated a few folks on here. You can't fake that.

Well, with all that rampant obesity, we have the tastiest ones! But since I'm gunning for the 2015 C Queen title, I've cut down on baby-eating so I can maintain my girlish figure.

Sadly there is a lot of truth in the highlighted part but I don't think it would be a distinction you would welcome not were consulted about...

But isn't a nomination alone, a win already? It would be very rude to the organizer of the pageant if one were to dismiss the honor of such an accolade. It is, after all, the thought that counts - quasi-pun intended.

That's what they say about the Oscars, Emmys, Ms Universe or any other pageant or contest: Being nominated is already a win.

The results count to a certain extent, but the important thing is knowing someone though of you enough to have your name put on that list.
